"Rongrong... you..."
Ning Fengzhi's voice trembled uncontrollably as he reached out his hands and carefully placed them on Ning Rongrong's shoulders.
"This... is this really the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?!"
"You really did it?!"
Beside him, Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong also had Faces full of disbelief.
"Rongrong, tell Grandpa quickly, how exactly did you achieve this Spirit evolution?"
"Was it... that kid Lin Yuan who helped you?" Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, forcing down the overwhelming shock in his heart, and asked with burning eyes.
Looking at the shocked expressions of the three, Ning Rongrong couldn't have been more smug.
She smiled sweetly and nodded:
"Yes, Dad!"
"It was Brother Lin Yuan who helped me!"
Subsequently, Ning Rongrong vividly recounted how Lin Yuan had obtained Immortal Herbs and meticulously refined Medicinal Pills for them.
Of course, she was smart enough to skip over the ambiguous "kiss reward" and the specific details of the Whale Glue.
A moment later, after hearing their daughter's account, Ning Fengzhi and the other two looked at each other, the shock in their hearts unable to subside for a long time.
"Hiss!"
Gu Rong took a sharp breath: "Refining Medicinal Pills from Immortal Herbs? It can even transform someone and evolve their Spirit?"
"Could there be any side effects? One must not do things like pulling seedlings to help them grow."
Gu Rong quickly placed his hand on Ning Rongrong's wrist and investigated with his spirit power.
Chen Xin's reaction was different, a sharp light flashing in his eyes: "It seems that the Master behind Lin Yuan is not only a super Douluo but also a formidable Alchemist."
"No wonder that kid's spirit ring configuration can reach the shocking level of Black-Purple-Black!"
Naturally, they attributed all the credit to the so-called "His Excellency Zhao Yun" behind Lin Yuan.
After all, how could an eight-year-old child understand such profound Alchemy and pharmacological knowledge?
There must be someone guiding him behind the scenes.
"Rongrong..."
Ning Fengzhi calmed his emotions, his eyes carrying a hint of expectation: "Then, can you help Dad ask Lin Yuan? Does he... still have any more of those Medicinal Pills?"
"Even just one would be fine!"
"No matter what the price, or even if he wants to pick anything from the Sect's treasury, as long as he is willing to give it!"
Ning Fengzhi desired it too much; the defect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda only being able to Cultivate to level seventy-nine was the pain of his life.
If he could obtain such a Medicinal Pill... However, Ning Rongrong shook her head helplessly, shattering his fantasy.
"Dad, I already asked for you."
Ning Rongrong sighed with a Face full of regret: "But Brother Lin Yuan said that producing this kind of Medicinal Pill requires a specific Immortal Herb called 'rose treant' as the primary ingredient."
"That kind of Immortal Herb is extremely rare, a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth."
"He only encountered one when he went out this time."
"So..."
Hearing this, the light in Ning Fengzhi's eyes instantly dimmed.
"Only one..."
"True, how could such a Heaven-Defying object that changes fate be mass-produced."
"Sigh..."
Although disappointed, Ning Fengzhi didn't say anything.
After all, for his daughter to obtain this Opportunity was already a massive blessing for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Forget it."
Ning Fengzhi pulled himself together and patted Ning Rongrong's shoulder: "Your Spirit being able to evolve is the best news."
...Meanwhile.
Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Today was a special day.
The exchange match between Blue Tyrant Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy was to be held in a large, enclosed arena within the academy.
To preserve Blue Tyrant Academy's Face and to avoid causing an unnecessary sensation, no audience was arranged for this exchange match; it was practically conducted in secret.
Inside the arena, the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.
Lin Yuan, leading Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and the others, waited in the center of the field early on.
Before long, a group of people emerged from the tunnel entrance.
Leading them was a woman with a fiery figure.
It was the Dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong.
Behind her followed several students who looked a bit nervous.
Among them were a few familiar Faces Lin Yuan recognized from the original work.
That muscular, somewhat simple-looking man was Tai Long of the Strength Clan.
The gloomy and thin youth beside him was Jing Ling.
And a gentle young girl, who should be Jiang Zhu.
"Dean Liu, I hope you have been well."
Sun Buyu went up to greet her with a smile; although they belonged to different academies, one doesn't hit a smiling Face, not to mention the person before him had the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind her.
Liu Erlong exchanged brief pleasantries, her beautiful eyes starting to scan the members of the Heaven Dou Team.
Finally, her gaze fixed firmly on a young boy.
Lin Yuan!
He truly was very handsome.
Lin Yuan felt Liu Erlong's burning gaze and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Isn't this intention a bit too obvious?
It was practically as if the words "Quickly write about me! Quickly write about me!" were carved on her Face.
Liu Erlong personally leading the team here for an exchange match was actually a case of having an ulterior motive.
She just wanted to use this match to make her presence known in front of Lin Yuan, so that he would mention her more in his diary, thereby obtaining System rewards... At this moment.
In the chat group that only the girls could see, things had become lively because of Liu Erlong's arrival.
[Bunny Who Loves Tanghulu: Tsk tsk tsk, Aunt Erlong, you're really going all out, aren't you?]
[Bunny Who Loves Tanghulu: This intention to get diary rewards is practically known to everyone!]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Exactly! Dean Liu, aren't you afraid our Heaven Dou Royal Academy will beat your people to a pulp and make your Blue Tyrant Academy lose Face in public?]
[Queen of the Dark Night: Hmph, Liu Erlong, you're too cunning. I also want the Star Luo Team to go and fight the Heaven Dou Team so that I have a chance to see Lin Yuan.]
[Irritable Pig Farmer: Che, what do you all know? Opportunities must always be fought for by oneself!]
[Irritable Pig Farmer: As for winning or losing? What does that matter? As long as Lin Yuan can remember me, it's fine!]
[Irritable Pig Farmer: Didn't you see that there's no audience for this exchange match? As long as there's no audience, then it's not embarrassing.]
The girls:...What a shameless person!
Star Luo Empire, Star Luo Royal Academy.
Zhu Zhuyun looked at the transparent diary in front of her, a hint of helplessness and anxiety flashing in her beautiful eyes.
She and her younger sister Zhu Zhuqing were in Star Luo, while Lin Yuan was in the distant Heaven Dou.
The two places were separated by thousands of miles; trying to increase the number of mentions in the diary was simply too difficult.
"Exchange match..."
"That is a good way, but the relationship between Star Luo and Heaven Dou is delicate, making it hard to happen in the short term."
Zhu Zhuyun sighed, her gaze becoming somewhat deep.
Soon, she thought of another problem. She had already enrolled in Star Luo Royal Academy, but her younger sister hadn't yet...
